[Jocr-devels] Is the C++ transition still in the pipeline?

[Rupert S. <rup...@li...>]

Hello,

I'm new to the GOCR project, but I've been using the end-product quite a
bit (and getting annoyed because no open source OCR can do the sort of
font found in academic journals, but that's beside the point).

I downloaded the CVS code the other night, and (forgetting to look in
the mailing list) read through the code and came to similar conclusions
to Wade although admittedly not in quite so much detail.

I'm now really excited, seeing how enthusiastic you all are about
porting across to C++ and would love to help, partially to get away from
the C# M$ horribleness I'm doing in my day job at the moment!

I find the project really exciting, and my belief is that if we can
re-engineer the existing code base to be easier to work on, many more
people will come and contribute to what is, let's face it, a pretty cool
area of application design. Beats writing web applications any day!

Well, I'd love to see a status report - could the C++ semi-port go into
a separate branch in CVS maybe?

Looking forward to hearing more,

Rupert
